5.0 out of 5 stars Good product, but quite LARGE, February 28, 2008

By	Sabad One - See all my reviews

This product is inexpensive and well constructed.

But I think I did a mistake my not purchasing a smaller pitcher. I have a Mc Coffee machine that makes a decent cappuccino and I needed a pitcher such as this one. Unfortunately, I did not notice that the size of this pitcher was too large given the length of the steamer in my coffee machine. I am the only one who drinks coffee in my household, so I usually need only a small quantity of milk for my cappuccino. But then I found out that if I use the quantity of milk I usually need, the steamer does not even touch the milk, because the pitcher is too deep.

So, I would recommend this pitcher highly if you routinely prepare at least two cappuccinos, but otherwise you may want to check carefully the size of both the pitcher and the steamer in your coffee machine before buying this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it needs to do, January 3, 2009

By	Carl A. Maniscalco "Gyrogeerloose" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Hard to wax poetic over something as mundane as a stainless steel milk frothing pitcher so I will just say that this one gets the job done. It's reasonably well-made, nice-looking and pours without drips. The wide mouth and relatively shallow depth makes it easy to froth milk, although I would suggest that you not fill it more than halfway to avoid having to clean up a mess when the froth overflows.

I noticed that one reviewer complained that the handle had broken off of the pitcher he purchased. It appears to be spot-welded on well enough for normal use but I think that if the pitcher was dropped while full and it landed on the handle, the length of the handle could supply enough leverage to break it off. I don't think I'd worry too much about it, however, unless you tend towards being butter-fingered.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great with the Rattleware thermometer , June 10, 2008

By	Carlos Gonzalez Hernandez "Carlo il Superbo" (El Paso, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I use this Frothing Pitcher with my Francis Francis X3 and it fits ok. I use it with the Rattleware 5-Inch Easy Steam Thermometer (also sold here in Amazon). I beleive they get along fine, but not great though, I would have like to find a slightly smaller Frothing Pitcher with a correspondingly smaller thermometer, but this is only because the Francis Francis X3 has a very small space for Frothing.

With this frothing pitcher you can produce enough milk for two italian capuccino cups (notice that an italian capuccino cup uses around %60 of the milk you would use in a regular size coffee cup)
